Trisha 36 by 72 oil on canvas, Well! its about time! 2012 iv hardly painted at all and it can get very difficult to even want to pick up a paint brush . In order to get motivated I picked something for myself .

Its been a wile, you may want to scroll down a bit to see my first two blogs about Trisha. After getting it close enough I started to paint. This is more my style than a pure "classical style". at this point I started with colour in the sort of correct places, thick on the painting because...

where I differ a bit is I mix on the painting itself and end up thin or "scumbled". At this point you can see uneven drying in the black, and still more refining to do, note: at the end of this day the dark marks around the lips, chin, above the ear ,etc. This is where I saw I drifted and "pushed"some corrections.

Not the best photo but I think its done, though I have yet to varnish it. It will "pop" then. It is a "study" so im not too concerned about much more than how it feels. although I am pleased about the hair colour. the ear ring and necklaces were done using "french curves" , up close there bits of light and dark only because I was painting Trisha not her jewellery....
